How to set 'Display Options' in DrawingView?

[Anonymous]

I'm writing a program that can generate all Drawings for .iam file.
The code is:
oBaseView = oSheet.DrawingViews.AddBaseView((Inventor._Document)oDoc, oPnt, 1, Inventor.ViewOrientationTypeEnum.kCurrentViewOrientation , Inventor.DrawingViewStyleEnum.kHiddenLineRemovedDrawingViewStyle, "", oCamera, oBaseViewOptions);
The problem is that it doesn't draw any Tangent Edges on the picture.

Does anybody know that I can set the option in Display Options by code?

Thanks

The 'Display Tangent Edges' option is turned off by default during the
creation of a view with the current model orientation. It is turned on by
default for all iso-view creations. To turn the display on, you can use the
DisplayTangentEdges property on the newly created base view.

oBaseView.DisplayTangentEdges = True

Hi Sanjay,
Thanks for your help.
I tried your suggestions. Tangent Edges were not turned on after I set kIsoTopRightViewOrientation in my code. It was turned on when I made Drawings in Inventor and select "ISO Top Right" option, but I need it to be turned on with some code not selecting options by hand.

I don't have .DisplayTangentEdges var in my DrawingView object. I'm using Inventor11, what's your version?

Do you have the latest Service Pack installed for R11?

I installed "Autodesk Inventor 11 Service Pack 2" before. Do you mean that .DisplayTangentEdges is suported in Inventor11 ?

Sorry, I was under the impression that this property was introduced in
Inventor 11. It is only available in Inventor 2008. Even the behavior of
tangent edges being turned on by default for iso-views is new to 2008. I'm
not aware of any workarounds for Inventor 11.
